Italians have been confined to their apartments for just over a week, after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced the nationwide lockdown on March 9.
The country has been the worst affected in Europe by the Covid-19 coronavirus with at least 27,980 confirmed cases and 2,158 deaths.
The local who filmed the video said: ‘This was the sixth day of staying at home. We did a flash mob in the courtyard with songs and lights.’
It comes after quarantined Italians took to their balconies last week to sing the national anthem.
The flash mob launched throughout Italy aimed to bring people together and try to cope with the emergency of coronavirus as the country remains on nationwide lockdown.
In Milan the singing was joined by Opera singer Laura Baldassari, who leaned out of her window in heartwarming scenes.

Guitars, recorders and harps were among the instruments taken onto balconies on Friday. One quick-thinking resident even grabbed pot lids to use as make-shift cymbals.
